How do I point django settings.py to point mongoDB?

Question

Currently my settings.py looks something like this

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine',   
        'NAME': 'gb',                      
        'USER': '',                      
        'PASSWORD': '',                  
        'HOST': 'localhost',                      
        'PORT': '27017'                      
    }
}

and I am using django version is 1.4. The problem is when I try python manage.py syncdb it throws the following error

 db = dbs[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS]
 KeyError: 'default'

Any help would be great. Thanks

The problem persists with even after using --database=default. — Karthik, Mar 05 '13 at 02:49

Basically, you need to use a fork of Django and not vanilla django. Unfortunately the site is down right now for me but the documentation and tutorial for django non-rel mongodb_engine is here: http://www.django-mongodb.org/ or you can contact via the usergroup see the project page on github https://github.com/django-nonrel/mongodb-engine

It looks like the doc is now here: https://django-mongodb-engine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ – Nicolas Cortot Dec 26 '13 at 10:59
